no mate its piss easy

you need to get your front wheel off the ground, take the wheel off,undo your fork clamps and take them out.

take off the rubber dust seals and, using a large screwdriver prise the old seals out.

put the new seals in, you wont think they will fit but they will lol, and seat them with a piece of plastic tubing aka small diameter plastic drain pipe

replace rubber dust seals

job done
